To taste, not counted: 1 garlic clove, sliced; salt, pepper, and lemon wedges. They add a few calories at most.

Method

Bake the sweet potatoes whole at 200 °C (400 °F) for 40 to 50 minutes, until soft. Scoop out the flesh and weigh 300 g.
For the last 12 to 15 minutes, bake the seasoned salmon on a lined tray until it flakes easily and reaches 63 °C (145 °F).
Warm the oil in a pan, add the garlic for 30 seconds, then the spinach. Stir until it wilts, 1 to 2 minutes, and season.
Serve the salmon with the sweet potato and spinach, with lemon on the side.

How the calories add up

The salmon supplies 494 of the 872 calories. The USDA entry is farmed Atlantic salmon; wild salmon is usually leaner, so use its label or entry if that’s what you buy.
Each serving has about 31 g of protein.
Spinach shrinks a lot as it wilts. Weigh it raw, as listed here.
